Bill Summary
Vulnerable Veterans Housing Reform Act of 2012 - Amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to exclude as family income for Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) housing assistance purposes any Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) payments made to veterans in need of regular aid and attendance for expenses related to such aid and attendance.
AI Summary
This bill, the Vulnerable Veterans Housing Reform Act of 2012, amends the United States Housing Act of 1937 to ensure that certain payments made by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans are not counted as income when determining eligibility for housing assistance programs administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Specifically, it excludes from "family income" any VA payments provided to veterans who require regular aid and attendance, which are payments made under section 1521 of title 38 of the United States Code to cover expenses associated with this care. This change aims to prevent these essential VA benefits, intended to help vulnerable veterans with their care needs, from reducing their ability to access affordable housing.
